All I wanted to do
Was to talk to you on the telephone
I kept hoping for an answer
But there wasn't anybody home
I dialed your number a million times
I done wore out all my dimes
And I never got through
No I never got to talk to you
I thought I heard you say
I could dial your number
Any day or night
And you'd be waitin'
For me to come hug you tight
Well this number must be wrong
'Cause I dialed it all night long
And I never got through
No I never got to talk to you
All I wanted to do
Was to talk to you on the telephone
I kept hoping for an answer
But there wasn't anybody home
I dialed your number a million times
I done wore out all my dimes
And I never got through
No I never got to talk to you
I called the operator to check
If there's anything wrong with the line
She said no sir
Everything works just fine
She told me try it one more time
And she gave me back my dime
And I never got through
No I never got to talk to you
All I wanted to do
Was to talk to you on the telephone
I kept hoping for an answer
But there wasn't anybody home
I dialed your number a million times
I done wore out all my dimes
And I never got through
No I never got to talk to you
All I wanted to do
Was to talk to you on the telephone
I kept hoping for an answer
But there wasn't anybody home
I dialed your number a million times
I done wore out all my dimes
And I never got through
No I never got to talk to you
No I never got through
Never got to talk to you
